L1B to L1A Change of Status Query

[domino007]

Hello 

 

I have entered the US with L1B visa in June 2010 & my current I-94 validity is till Jul 2015.  My visa has expired in 2013 and I have requested my employer to file change of status to L1A. 

 

As per the info provided the Change of Status to L1A requires the candidate to have 1 year of managerial experience outside of the US prior to the entry date (in my case prior to 2010).  I don't have that experience and hence the employer has mentioned that they cannot file change of status.  Please advise on the options that might be possible.
